WRAPPER FOR COIN-PACKAGES.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RODNEY B. WARE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrap ers for Coin-Packages, of which the followmg is a specification.

This invention refers to wrappers for packages and is particularly directed to coinpackages; wherein a certain convenient numer of coins of the same denomination are assembled in the form of a column and inclosed in a wra per to form a cylindrical package usua ly of some definite predetermined amount or value.

The one object of the invention is to provide an improved form of wrapper -for coin packages or any other article of a substantially cylindrical configuration in which. the assembled coin or other article can be readily and quickly inclosed, and the op osite rojecting edges of the wrapper, at tie on s of the article can be quickly secured, if desired by the operation of bending inward upon these projecting edges.

Another object of the invention is to provide a form of wrapper for coin-packages or any other article or assemblage of articles in a substantially cylindrical form, which wrapper will'have one or both of the sides connecting the two sides that constitute the ends of the package, extending in continuous strai ht lines from side to side.

A urther object of the invention is to provide a form of wrapper for coin-packages or similarly shaped articles by straight line in cisions made diagonally across a strip or web having parallel sides, whereby wrappers for different sized coins or other articles can be produced by merely varying the angle or in clination of these lines of incision, or their distance apart, or both. I

In the accompanying drawing illustrating embodiments of my invention, ure 1. shows a fragment of a web from which the wrapper is formed by cutting on the broken lines there indicated. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the lines for incision as being more inclined, and arranged near together. Fig. 3 shows a wrapper formed from the web of Fig. 1 on lines of incision there indicated. Fi 4 shows a wrapper formed from the web in icated in Fig. 2 on lines of incision there indicated. Fig. 5 indicates a coin. Fig. 6

shows a column of coins of the size indicated in Fig. 5 enveloped in a wrapper with the ends of the wrapper projecting as indicated in broken lines. Fig. 7 shows the package indicated in Fig. 6 with the projecting end portions of the wrapper bent inward to close the package. Fig. 8 indicates a coin of larger size than that shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 9 shows a column of coin of the size shown in Fig. 8 enveloped in a wrapper with the ends of the wrapper projecting as indicated in broken lines. Fig. 10 shows the enveloped coin as indicated in Fig. 9 with the projectin ends bent inward to secure the wra per; an Fig. 11 illustrates in plan view tie initial stage in the wrapping of the coin.

The wra per 15 shown in Fig. 3 is formed from a we 16 by incisions on thebroken lines 17. The latter lines are preferably parallel and e uidistant, thereby producing a wrapper in this form of a rhomboid. By varying the angle of the lines of incision and also their distance apart, difierent forms of wrapper can be produced. The wrapper 18 shown in Fig. 4 can be produced from a web 19 shown in Fig. 2 by incisions on the broken lines 20. The web 19 is shown as of equal width with the web 16 but the lines 20 are more inclined than the lines 17, and are equidistant but nearer together than are the lines 17.

To envelop a column of coin such as shown in Fig. 8 in the wrapper 18, the column is placed against the wrapper with its lon itudinal axis lying perpendicular with the sides 21 and 22 of tne wrapper, that corre spond to the lines of incision 20 of the web 19 It will be observed from Fig. 11 that the distance apart of the sides 21 and 22 is slightly greater than the length of the column 23 of coin. The adjacent end 24 of the wrapper is bent around the side of the column and the rollin continued until a-package is formed as indicated in Fig. 9. Figs. 8, 9 and 10 are drawn to a larger scale than Figs. 2, i and 11. By comparison of Figs. 9 and 11 it will be seen that there is a projecting annular portion of the wrapper 25 and 26 at each end of the package. It will be further seen that the end 24 by which the rolling was started, is inclosed by a surrounding portion of the wra per, while the other end 27 is not confined. But when the rejecting edge 25 is bent inward upon itse f as indicated in Fi 10, this end 27 is thereby securely locked and the 2 eeaewi unrolling of the wrapper prevented. The other end 26 is likewise bent inward upon itself as shown in Fig. 10 which will further secure the outer exposed edge 18 of the wrapper in position.

In Fig. 10 a package of thirty half dollars is illustrated, making a value of $15.00, but when coins of similar denomination are to be packed they usually are formed in piles of greater length but obviously of. less total value.

In Fig. 7 is shown a package formed of fifty pennies. In making this size of package, it is found desirable to form the wrapper as shown in Fi 3 by having the incisions 17 of the strip 16 less inclined to the sides, and a greater distance apart. In wra ping the column of coins such as indicate. in Fig. 7 they are placed upon the wrapper 15 with the axis of the column extending perpendicular to the two sides 30 and 28 that were formed by the lines of incision 17. The column is wrapped in the manner indicated in Fig. 11 forming a package as indicated in Fig. 6. Thereupon, the end portions 31 and 29 are bent inward as shown in Fig. 7 to secure the final ed e of the Wrapper in osition.

It Wil be observed that om' the same web difierent forms of wrapper can be proing inward the projecting ends of the wrapper serves to secure the wrapper in position.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A coin wrapper formed from a rhomboidal shaped plece of paper rolled into a tube, the roll beginning with one acute angle and ending with the other, all the planes passing through the axis of the tubes being perpendicular to two edges of the paper.

2. A. coin wrapper formed from a rhomboidal shaped piece of paper rolled into a tube and crimped at its ends, the tube being so rolled that the ends of the tube will be in parallel planes before it is crimped.

3. In a coin package, a wrapper comprising a strip formed from a web of paper having parallel sides by severance along diagonal parallel lines thereby to form a wrapper with straight arallel sides and parallel ends, each of sai' ends being at different.

angles relatively to such parallel straight sides, the severed edges of the wrapper turned inward over the faces of the coin to lock the wrapper thereon.

4. In a coin package, a wrapper comprising a strip havin parallel straight sides and parallel ends, sald ends being at an obtuse angle to one side and at an acute angle to the other, the parallel straight edges of the strip being turned inward or crimped to lock the wrapperover the faces of the coin.
